Professional players and their racquets

I love the Mizuno racket, has been using Altius control since beginning of this year, absolute my favourite.
Love to get the Altius 01 feel, but nowhere to get it with affortable price

 

I personally owned an Altius 01 Feel before. My experience with it was terrific especially good with clears and get-out-of-jail card shots. Decided to trade it at the end due to trying a racket I felt was better than it.

As for the price, all Made-In-Japan Mizuno rackets are high-end and of course, made in Japan. I'd assume all their made-in-Japan rackets are JP-coded. The Altius I had was JP-coded. Mizuno's high-end rackets are amazing, but what makes it avoidable is the pricing.

 

I saw bwf Instagram, KM uses 77 pro

 

Naraoka use Astrox 99 PRO 4U?0:

 

Vi a KM usar 99 pro de nuevo

 

I saw KM use 99 pro again(sorry)

 

he's using a ax99pro painted as a ax77pro..

 

Yep

 

I see several Victor-sponsored Indonesian players, both singles and doubles, are playing with Ryuga 2

 

Nur Izzudin seems to be using Ax77pro from Arcsaber 11 OG

 

I have a feeling that Ax77Pro is actually closer to the OG Arc11 than Arc11Pro itself

 

Yeah, I recognize Chico Dwi Wardoyo used it when he played against Prannoy & Vittinghus (From the purple decals on the side of the frame and the head shape). Last time I remember he used the Thruster F Enhanced Edition back in the 2021 Spain Masters.

 

Interesting to see all 4 MS semifinalist are using different rackets even though they are all Yonex-sponsored.
Viktor-100ZZ
Kunlavut-88DP
Kodai Naraoka-99P
Kanta Tsuneyama-Arc7Pro (?)

 

Who really know what they're using...

 

Kanta use NRzspd

 

Dechapol changes his racket again. This time from arc 7 pro to arc 11 pro.

Is arc 7 pro that bad? Haha.

 

Actually I am even more surprised to see that many players choosing Arc11Pro. Was expecting pro players to prefer repulsion than hold. Well, I guess when you are on pro level, it doesn't matter that much

 

Arc 7 pro feels too soft upon contact of shuttle because of the medium shaft plus shuttle hold, Dechapol playing XD would need a more solid/harder hitting racket.

 

I think pro players prefer even balance 3U racquets than head heavy 4U’s
